That's some good looking osage, and represents a good amount of sweat I'm sure! ;)

It's a good thing man's reach exceeds his grasp, else what's a heaven for.  This is osage heaven to which every bowyer hopes to go someday.  These pictures just make you want to "waller" among all that "yaller" wood.  You did a great job, and I can see a great many fine bows within those beautiful staves.  Well done.

I woller some i rekon! :) Been working on them a lil every night,taking care of all the belly splits first, then I'll start on the bark and sapwood. I have an old band saw that is my work horse,it helps alot with that. Lot of them are making two staves, Several have some really nice character, with few knots.Very happy about that.

I'm blessed with haveing some good wood, and being healthy enough to get it. I know there are lots on here who are very less fortunate than me, and I feel for them......(well kinda) :)

Thanks all for the good words.
